Explosive atmospheres - Part 30-2: Electrical resistance trace heating - Application guide for design, installation and maintenance
IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2:2015 provides guidance for the application of electrical resistance trace heating systems in areas where explosive atmospheres may be present, with the exclusion of those classified as requiring EPL Ga/Da (traditional relationship to Zone 0 and Zone 20 respectively). This standard also provides guidance for explosive atmospheres incorporating the Division method of area classification that may be applied by some users of this standard. It provides recommendations for the design, installation, maintenance and repair of trace heating systems including associated control and monitoring equipment. It does not cover devices that operate by induction heating, skin effect heating or direct pipeline heating, nor those intended for stress relieving. This first edition of IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2 cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 60079-30-2 published in 2007 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant changes, apart from a general review and updating of the first edition of IEC 60079-30-2, harmonization with IEEE Std.515, with respect to the previous edition:
- the relocation of trace heater product design methodology and requirements to IEC/IEEE 60079-30-1;
- the relocation and/or duplication of information on installation, maintenance, and repair to the MTs under SC31J for their addition into IEC 60079-14, IEC 60079-17, and IEC 60079-19;
- the inclusion of more detailed information on safety showers and eyewash units;
- the introduction of Annexes from IEEE Std. 515. Please refer to the Foreword of the document for the significance of changes between IEC 60079-30-2, Edition 1.0 (2007) and IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2, Edition 1.0 (2014). Keywords: electrical resistance trace heating systems, Division method of area classification
Atmosphères explosives - Partie 30-2: Traçage par résistance électrique - Guide d'application pour la conception, l'installation et la maintenance.
IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2:2015 fournit des lignes directrices pour l'application des systèmes de traçage par résistance électrique dans les emplacements où des atmosphères explosives peuvent être présentes, à l’exception de ceux classés comme exigeant l'EPL Ga/Da (relation traditionnelle à la Zone 0 et la Zone 20, respectivement). La présente norme donne également des lignes directrices relatives aux atmosphères explosives intégrant la méthode de classement des emplacements par division qui peut être appliquée par certains utilisateurs de la présente norme. Elle fournit des recommandations pour la conception, l'installation, la maintenance et la réparation des systèmes de traçage, y compris le matériel associé de commande et de surveillance. Elle ne couvre pas les dispositifs qui fonctionnent par chauffage par induction, chauffage à effet de peau ou chauffage par impédance, ni ceux destinés au relâchement des contraintes. Cette première édition de l'IEC/IEEE 60079-30-2 annule et remplace la première édition de l'IEC 60079-30-2 parue en 2007. Cette édition constitue une révision technique. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes, hormis la révision générale et la mise à jour de la première édition de l'IEC 60079-30-2 et de l'harmonisation avec la norme IEEE 515, par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- déplacement de la méthode de conception des résistances de traçage et des exigences dans l'IEC/IEEE 60079-30-1;
- déplacement et/ou reproduction des informations relatives à l'installation, la maintenance et la réparation à l’intention des équipes de maintenance (MT) relevant du SC31J, dans l'IEC 60079-14, l'IEC 60079-17 et l'IEC 60079-19;
- introduction d'informations plus détaillées relatives aux douches de sécurité et aux bassins oculaires;
- introduction des Annexes issues de la norme IEEE 515.

Part 30-2: Electrical resistance trace heating –
Application guide for design, installation and maintenance
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within IEEE Societies and Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. IEEE develops its standards through a consensus
development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers
representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily
members of IEEE and serve without compensation. While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules
to promote fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or
verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards. Use of IEEE Standards documents is
wholly voluntary. IEEE documents are made available for use subject to important notices and legal disclaimers
(see http://standards.ieee.org/IPR/disclaimers.html for more information).IEC collaborates closely with IEEE in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations. This Dual Logo International Standard was jointly developed by the IEC and IEEE under the
terms of that agreement.2) The formal decisions of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of
opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC
National Committees. The formal decisions of IEEE on technical matters, once consensus within IEEE Societies
and Standards Coordinating Committees has been reached, is determined by a balanced ballot of materially
interested parties who indicate interest in reviewing the proposed standard. Final approval of the IEEE
standards document is given by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board.
3) IEC/IEEE Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC
National Committees/IEEE Societies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC/IEEE Publications is accurate, IEC or IEEE cannot be held responsible for the way in
which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
(including IEC/IEEE Publications) transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional
publications. Any divergence between any IEC/IEEE Publication and the corresponding national or regional
publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.5) IEC and IEEE do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC and IEEE are not responsible
for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or IEEE or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of technical committees and IEC National Committees, or volunteers of IEEE Societies
and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board,
for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect,
or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this
IEC/IEEE Publication or any other IEC or IEEE Publications.8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that implementation of this IEC/IEEE Publication may require use of
material covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the
existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. IEC or IEEE shall not be held responsible for
identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal
validity or scope of Patent Claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in
connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or
non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent
rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.
